He saves his twin brother's life by giving him half of his skin

Franzk Dufourmantelle is 34 and works as a technician in an Amiens laboratory in France, when a chemical mixture exploded in his hands.

The burns had affected 95% of the 34-year-old body, and doctors had given hope less than 1% for survival after the incident.

But his twin brother Eric saved his life from a skin transplant that gave Frank a new skin.

Skin transplants are very complicated, above all, in different parts of the body.

Doctors usually prefer to perform skin transplants in certain areas of the body from the individual's own skin, but in Franck's case it was no longer possible, since there was no skin.

Eric then donated half his skin to save his twin brother. Since both individuals were genetically identical, it was impossible to refuse the skin from Franck's body, as is common with skin transplants.

“The biggest madness Eric said about the Afp- is that doctors didn't immediately appreciate me as potential donors, since my brother had his head bandaged during visits and couldn't see we were twins”.

It was Eric who insisted on a skin transplant and surgeon Maurice Mimoun of Paris' Saint Louis Hospital accepted the challenge of a very difficult intervention.

Skin transplants can be carried out as much as 60% of the body. No doctor had previously performed a leather transplant in such a common area.

Eric donated half his skin to Frank's twin and said that the <x0 sense of relief he could save his brother eased his pain. ”

Franzk, meanwhile, claimed that after the operation, he felt that he was wearing a license.

Now, the 34-year-old can feed himself, walk, even run for a few minutes.

She will even be able to hold her daughter, who is expected to be born in a few months.
